This was by far one of the more terrible mistakes of my entire career. Groupon was brand new at that time, and did NOT advise people on how to prepare or what to expect. Their biggest mistake was not telling me that I could put a cap on how many I sold. So, unfortunately, I paid a HUGE price for their mistake. If you’d like to know more about my experience or the aftermath of it all… Feel free to ask instead of just showing “my mistake”.

I couldn’t agree more with your comments. And I hope you don’t think we’re making a jab at you in any way. It is more to point out to photographers that Groupon WILL NOT HELP you protect your business. And Groupon WILL NOT PROTECT the integrity of our craft. In general, Groupon and all of the knock-offs like Living Social, have cheapened photography services so much that it’s becoming difficult to make ends meet.

We would LOVE to have you write your experience with Groupon and what, if anything, you would have done differently IF you were ever to do an offer again. The point of writing so much on this subject is not to call out photographers in particular, but rather to get all of us to think, plan and strategize together to actually make money with Groupon. We too did a Groupon early on. We were the first in Denver, CO and the third photographer EVER. We made money and got some lifelong clients from it, but we still would change some things if we ever did it again.

So, if you’ll take us up on our offer, please write an article for the site. You can include links to your website and etc. We’d love to have you chime in on this.
